Have you ever felt overwhelmed by emotions like fear, anger, or anxiety, unsure of how to navigate them? Maybe you find yourself stuck in cycles of self-doubt, constantly on edge, or fearing something bad is around the corner. Childhood trauma can leave lasting imprints, making it hard to regulate emotions, trust yourself, or feel in control. In your relationships, you may notice repeating patterns: putting others’ needs first, struggling with boundaries, or finding it hard to trust. Over time, these ingrained habits can affect both your mind and body, sometimes leading to chronic pain or illness.
My expertise lies in chronic pain/illness, childhood developmental trauma, relationship issues, behavioural addictions, life transitions, grief & loss and work-related injuries. I integrate methods from various modalities to craft a holistic and comprehensive approach to suit your needs. I have specialized training in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy.
While seeking help might feel daunting at first, yet it is a courageous first step towards healing and a better mental health. You are the expert on your life and have a fair idea of what you need. With me, you will find a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space to explore various possibilities and make the changes for living your optimal life.
